Jesus Was a Cross Maker Lyrics

[Intro]
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down fly in low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
Though there was something wrong
But when I turned he was gone

[Chorus 1]
Blinding me, his song remains, reminding me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down fly in low for me

He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And though he chases him out windows
And won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide

[Chorus 2]
Fighting him, he lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down fly in low for me

[Verse 3]
I heard the thunder come rumbling
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger is in the wind
And either road's looking grim

[Chorus 3]
Hiding me, earthly desire dividing me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down fly in low for me

[Verse 1]
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
Though there was something wrong
But when I turned he was gone

[Chorus 1]
Blinding me, his song remains, reminding me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker

[Outro]
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker...
